A new diet trend is emerging among some Christian conservatives in the United States: eating only foods mentioned in the Bible.

The concept, often referred to as 'biblical eating,' has seen a resurgence in recent months, according to a New York Times report.

The diet is not strictly defined but generally includes foods like fish, grains, fruits, vegetables, and honey. It excludes modern processed items, aligning closely with the Mediterranean diet.

Influencers Profit from the Trend

Christian content creator Kayla Bundy told the NYT that she had a revelation about food being a weapon against sin.

She now sells a $28 digital guide on biblical eating.

Another influencer, Annalies Xaviera, offers a $97 Biblical Eating Reset course and a superfoods coaching session for around $700 per month.

Both have gained followers seeking a faith-based approach to nutrition.

The trend has been described as part of a broader wave of unconventional wellness ideas among conservative circles.

Other examples include raw milk consumption and testicle tanning for testosterone.

Health Claims and Skepticism

Proponents argue that biblical eating avoids ultra-processed foods and promotes natural ingredients. Critics, however, note that the diet lacks scientific backing and is often marketed with high-priced guides.

Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has also spoken against seed oils, which aligns with some biblical eating advocates.

However, experts caution against relying on religious texts for dietary advice.

The diet's simplicity and connection to faith appeal to many. Yet, it remains a niche trend with limited evidence of long-term benefits.

As with any fad diet, consumers are advised to consult healthcare professionals before making significant changes.
